Lakers v Nuggets 

Post#1 » by corona » Thu Nov 14, 2013 4:26 am

So how long will it take to put down this widespread notion that koufos was a big loss, and moz was overpaid/could never replace him?

Screw McGee, give Timo the starting job. He was great tonight. It was good to see Chandler out there again too.

I don't care what the situation is or how bad either team is, I'll always love beating the Lakers.

got to tune in while at work, so mostly glancing to my second screen to watch the game.
Loved Timo's hustle, hope it continues. Very worried about Nate Rob. looks like he hasn't adjusted at all...i guess a few more games will tell if he fits here or not. LOVED having Wilson back. Thank F for that.

Mozzy is showing that he deserves that starting spot. He fits the offense and what Shaw wants to do very well from what I have seen thus far this season. If he can stay out of foul trouble and on the floor, he may be our center of the future. Plus we need more of those post game interviews...

Great to have Chandler back as well. His defense and scoring was much needed. This team is looking better the more they play. Hopefully this keeps up against some stronger opponents.

I saw flashes of a competitive team tonight...not to be picky on Timo but there are moments when he and others are not aggressive on the boards...and then Faried comes in. I must say I noticed some nice touch out of both Timo and Faried. Trading Faried without getting at least fringe all-star talent would be dumb. Also saw the pick-n-roll D I wanted GK to play for years.

Every time I hype Ill Will he lets me down so no comment there.

An incessant motor at mile-hi has a value all of its own. Also, when the SF is the focal point and Faried can blend in as the hustle player he really excels at it. In this game both the Timo and the Wilson arose as focal points. It is what it is, I'd rather have that motor than a sleepy non-rebounding team.

Nate can achieve at least J.R. Smith levels of usefulness. Just a question of when and is when soon enough for what we're doing.

Mozgov certainly likes playing the Lakers, he always seems to have very good games against them, but I do like the improvement he is showing.

i remember kleiza having the same effect. mozgov and kleiza both play gasol in fiba and european tournaments, it always gives the guys a boost when knowing you play against a powerhouse country's team member. i also remember kleiza going off for 41 against utah, kirilenko being a big reason why, seeing how lithuania and russia have a tense history. this trend really isn't that uncommon throughout the nba for international players, they always seem to want to flex their muscles in front of each other.
